Hi everyone,

Every trader goes through losing streaks at some point. I’m interested in hearing how experienced traders stay disciplined and avoid making emotional decisions after a few losses.

Do you reduce your stakes, take a break, or simply stick to your trading plan no matter what? What habits have helped you remain consistent over the long term?

I'd appreciate any tips or personal experiences. Thanks!

I experienced that this week, i thought BF has just given me a Red Card, no matter what i done it was a red field, my Strategy and edge are relatively sharp usually up £500 -£600 by end of a week better on the bigger meetings. It can only be something in the strategy and rules you set cannot really be nothing else, so i reviewed my data and rules, i then realised i was jumping in to quick then the real Liquidity in the market came along and blew market against me including the mystery 4K BOMBMER :roll: :lol: :lol: but all is back to normal. Your doing something wrong with your market entry strategy you need to review and repair or you will just end up blowing your Bank
